Hold a Cup Again - Tennis Elbow Relief in Miami
Only 10% of tennis elbow comes from tennis. It comes from years of gripping, typing, and repetitive work that shorten your forearm muscles. Our robotic therapy is designed to release that built-up tension. Many clients report lasting relief in weeks, not months.*

How Tennis Elbow Disrupts Life in Miami
Work becomes impossible: Every grip at Wynwood or lifting a wrench at Little Havana sends agonizing pain through your elbow. Simple tasks like typing or opening doors become torture.
Sports disappear: Tennis at Flamingo Park Tennis or golf at Crandon Golf Course becomes impossible when every swing brings sharp, stabbing pain. You're terrified you'll have to give up what you love.
Daily life disrupted: Picking up a cup of coffee at Joe's Stone Crab or bumping your elbow on furniture sends shooting pain through your arm. It even wakes you at night.
South Florida residents don't have to live this way.
There's a good chance it's your forearm, not your actual elbow.
Years of gripping and repetitive motion shorten the forearm muscles that attach to your elbow. When those muscles stay tight, they keep pulling on the same spot. That's why rest doesn't fix it and the pain keeps coming back.
Tennis Elbow Relief at TheraMax
Tennis elbow rarely happens in isolation. The forearm muscles that hurt attach to your elbow, but they're connected to a chain that runs from your wrist through your shoulder. When we see tennis elbow, we usually find tightness up and down that whole chain. Our robotic therapy is designed to work on the forearm extensors, the wrist, and the shoulder complex, not just the spot that hurts. Many clients tell us that's why the pain finally stopped coming back. We weren't just chasing the symptom.
Clients often report they can:
Lift tools and objects without sharp elbow pain
Play tennis, golf, or their sport without fear of flare-ups
Sleep through the night without elbow pain waking them

What Makes Our Approach Different
Swipe to compare treatment options
Physical Therapy
Approach: Stretching exercises and eccentric strengthening protocols for forearm muscles
Timeframe: 8-12 weeks of sessions
Effectiveness: Can help mild cases but often aggravates chronic conditions
Aggressive stretching can actually aggravate chronic tennis elbow. Some people do months of exercises with no improvement because the deep forearm tightness was never addressed.
Massage Therapy
Approach: Manual soft tissue work on forearm and elbow
Timeframe: Weekly sessions, temporary relief
Effectiveness: Can provide temporary relief but limited by hand fatigue and pressure consistency
Massage can provide temporary relief, but the results often don't last. Human hands fatigue quickly and struggle to maintain the sustained pressure forearm muscles need to release.
Injections & Surgery
Approach: Cortisone injections to suppress inflammation or surgical tendon release
Timeframe: Recovery time varies by procedure
Effectiveness: Injections provide temporary relief; surgery has variable outcomes
Cortisone can help for a few months, but then it wears off. Surgery is irreversible and doesn't address the forearm muscle tension that may have contributed to the problem.
Understanding Tennis Elbow
It's not just your forearm
Tennis elbow often shows up alongside tight shoulders, poor wrist mobility, and imbalances that run up the entire arm. The forearm muscles that grip don't work in isolation. They connect to a chain that includes your wrist, elbow, shoulder, and even your upper back. When one part of that chain gets tight or weak, the elbow often takes the hit because it's caught in the middle. That's why treatments focused only on the elbow, like braces, stretches, or cortisone, often fail. They're treating where it hurts, not where the tension pattern starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to your questions about robotic therapy
I work with my hands all day in Coconut Grove. Is that what caused my tennis elbow?
We don't diagnose, but many clients who work trades, type all day, or do repetitive gripping describe the same pattern. Years of that kind of work can shorten the forearm muscles over time. Many clients tell us they didn't realize how tight their whole arm had become until we started working on it.
I've had tennis elbow for over a year and nothing has worked. Is it too late?
Many clients come to us after 6 months, a year, even longer with no improvement from rest, cortisone, or PT. Chronic cases often respond well because we're addressing tightness that's been building for years. Many clients with long-term tennis elbow tell us they finally started improving once the whole chain was worked on.
I play tennis at Flamingo Park Tennis. Will I have to stop while getting treatment?
Many clients continue playing during treatment. We'll give you guidance based on your specific situation. Some dial back intensity for a few weeks, others don't. Many clients tell us they started feeling more confident on the court after just a few sessions.
My doctor recommended cortisone. Should I try that first?
Many clients come to us after cortisone wore off. Research shows it typically helps for a few months, then the pain often returns if the underlying issue isn't addressed. Cortisone reduces inflammation but doesn't address the forearm muscle tension that may be contributing to the problem. Many clients prefer to try our approach before injections. We always recommend discussing options with your doctor.
When will I be able to grip without pain again?
It depends on how long you've had symptoms, how severe they are, and how well you follow care instructions. Many clients describe that same frustration, whether it's lifting a wrench at work or picking up a cup at Joe's Stone Crab. As the forearm and arm tightness starts to release, grip confidence is often one of the first things that comes back. We can give you a better picture after your first visit.
